This is good advice. I think many of us probably fall into the trap of wanting to show new users the latest release with all the shiny, flash, new stuff, without fully considering their longer term experience. Showing them the latest release is fine but I think we should always advise installation of an LTS and explain the release cycle, the concept of which is likely entirely alien to most ex windows users. I'm going to go away now to modify a sleeve from spreadubuntu to include information on getting help. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
